[22:11] <Angelica_G> hi Tim

[22:11] <Alan_Currie> Hi Tim, Nice work on the rotator

[22:11] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> everyone, if you check the 24 hour support I posted informaiton on how to edit the rotating card ads

[22:11] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> ty

[22:11] <Jeromy_S> thanks thought I would see what you folks are chating about

[22:11] * kelv-AWY I am BACK from( )(Left at Thu Mar 06 23:56:25 2008, Returned at Thu Apr 03 22:12:15 2008)(E)volution v.7.0

[22:11] *** kelv-AWY is now known as kelvin--brown

[22:11] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> i has said,  go to front_page_images with your ftp, look for a file called business_card_ads.php Then you just need to edit that file.  Just replace the URLS in there and leave the rest of the code as it is.  Save the original file in case you mess it up and need to start over.  you will see URLs to images, and URLs to what you want that image to link to.  Those are the URLS you replace.

[22:11] <Alan_Currie> Thats great time

[22:12] <Paulette_Nurse> Hello Everyone!!!

[22:12] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> hi paulette

[22:12] <Angelica_G> hi Paulette and Mickey

[22:13] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> alan, you can post unlimited business cards on the front page, no cost to you.  the tabs work ok with firefox now, and you have full ad control under the movies, travel, and hotels tab.  I would suggest you sell the first 30 second ad for $50 per month, the second for $45, the third for $40 etc.  if you sell the first 3 on each side that is $260 a month  

[22:13] <Danielle_Danko> hi paulette!

[22:13] <Danielle_Danko> hi mickey!

[22:13] <Mickey_Mixon> Thanks Tim for the big blue business card ads that mystically showed up on my portal yesterday. Any more nice surprised coming soon?

[22:28] *** Joins: Rick_Caldwell (Rick_Caldwell@KWirc)

[22:28] <Paulette_Nurse> Hi Rick

[22:28] <Danielle_Danko> hi Rick

[22:28] <Alan_Currie> I can thank my daughter, she brought it home with her at easter and left it with me

[22:28] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> angelica i am going to look at your card is it on paramus?

[22:28] <Rick_Caldwell> Bout time, eh Paulette?

[22:29] <Angelica_G> yes Tim

[22:29] <Rick_Caldwell> Hello everyone.

[22:29] <Ed_Bremer> hi Rick & all

[22:29] <Danielle_Danko> HI Ed

[22:29] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> On that text file for the biz card rotator, you will notice postion 1 is listed 3 times, it has to be that way if you want them exactly turning the same on both sides

[22:29] <Rick_Caldwell> I'm multitasking and time got away from me

[22:29] <Angelica_G> I have to retouch the pic, was just playing with it

[22:29] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> hi rick

[22:30] <Rick_Caldwell> Hey Tim

[22:30] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> I could have made the admin easier on that rotator, but I wanted to get it done and out. later  may make a control panel for it

[22:30] <Rick_Caldwell> Had a great meeting with my friend from FL today

[22:30] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Rick, thats good to hear!  any results yet?

[22:30] <Angelica_G> Tim - do you suggest we replace all the urls with the same first card until we have more?  or leave the spots visible to sell

[22:31] <Danielle_Danko> good question

[22:31] <T-Rex> leave the spots open

[22:31] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Angelica its up to you however, if you leave the spots that say it is for sale, maybe at least one of them, so lets say you have 4 cards, 2 each side, then maybe just one more for this space for sale.  that way you advertsie the spot and the other 2 spots show up 2/3 of the time

[22:32] <Rick_Caldwell> He knows someone really well who has been B2B there for a long time - like 20 years!  My friend is already involved in too many projects, but is going to put us together.

[22:32] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> or just leave them all, and then maybe the #1 position will want to go ahead and buy the first 6 positions

[22:32] <Rick_Caldwell> May  be headed back to FL for  week before too long!

[22:32] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Rick, good to hear

[22:33] <Angelica_G> ok, I'll think about it, if they buy first 6 positions, I can give them the premium for free

[22:33] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Angelica, I think I would say leave them all in there.  I someone buys the first 30 seconds, then that is what they should get.  if they want the first 3 minutes, they may decide to buy it

[22:33] <Angelica_G> ok

[22:33] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> so you when you sell you can say, do you want 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or our 5 minute special?

[22:34] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> remember to give choices when selling

[22:34] <Angelica_G> ok

[22:34] <Jeromy_S> what does that mean Tim, the rotation. Is that the time it displays, then changes to another?

[22:34] <Rick_Caldwell> My friend in Northern VA is also interested.  She has to know what area of N Va she will relocate next month.

[22:34] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> instead of asking, "do you want to buy" you aks "do you want this, or this"  either way that is "yes or yes"  not "yes or no" answer

[22:34] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Rick, very good!! youare on a roll there

[22:35] *** Joins: ChangeMe (say@dhcp9590127.columbus.rr.com)

[22:35] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> so, Do you want to buy, they may say "yes or no"

[22:35] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> i f you say, "do you want 30 seconds or 5 minute special" they say, 30 seconds only please

[22:40] <Jeromy_S> Tim, is some sort of training material available to orient ones self?

[22:41] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> jeromy yes,

[22:41] <Rick_Caldwell> Tim - anyone out there, is there an Avery number for the stickers?  I went to Office Max today and they did not have any in their system

[22:41] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> when you log in to your adminisration area, make sure to listen to the first video. Then, click to read the introduction letter, and listen to the 2 videos on there. That is your orientation. If you skip it you will miss a lot and ask a lot more questions then you will need to. Then, be sure to understand the red boxing glove and the blue funnel at http://yourhometownportal.com/slideshow you will see them on the right side. Thats all you need to do to start making money.

[22:41] <Angelica_G> Tim, I definitely have not followed the system

[22:41] <Ed_Bremer> no

[22:41] <T-Rex> Kelly / Naomi how are things?

[22:41] <Kelly_Naomi> believe you me the system works 100%

[22:47] <Angelica_G> Kelly - when I see the pile of materials others have dropped off before me on the client's desk - I had to take a shot

[22:47] <Kelly_Naomi> whooo hooooo $$$$$$$ just waiting to be gotten

[22:47] <Rick_Caldwell> Kelly, do you promote the use of window decals?

[22:47] <Kelly_Naomi> not as of yet getting all the decals delivered hopefully in a few weeks we do something else righ now

[22:47] <kelvin--brown> build relationship is what Tim said earlier, when he said, give freebie, ask client to verify,  offer info,  ie.  tips on using or taking advantage of calendar

[22:47] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> jeromy, we need about 1 business day to build your portal then halle will call you with your password

[22:48] <Rick_Caldwell> like what?

[22:48] <Kelly_Naomi> we created news letters and leave them at the clients business with information for the residents shoppers and other business owners

[22:48] <Rick_Caldwell> the flyers?

[22:48] <kelvin--brown> once the relationship is established u will have learned more about the businesses needs,  and it will be harder for them not to listen to u as a friend

[22:49] <Jeromy_S> Tim, OK I see. Do you select a domain, or do I? Or is it standard salmonarmportal.com

[22:49] <Rick_Caldwell> Is that what Tim posted the other week?

[22:49] <Kelly_Naomi> no i don't believe so we created it ourselves

[22:50] <Rick_Caldwell> Remember the flyer you sent Tim for us to see?  You use something else now?

[22:50] <Kelly_Naomi> no we use those to drop off to introduce what we do to the business the newsletter is something after they are clients

[22:50] <Rick_Caldwell> Great!!!

[22:52] <Angelica_G> thank you Kelvin

[22:52] <Jeromy_S> Tim, I have to sign out and chase my boy to bed. I am very interested in a local portal. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

[22:52] <kelvin--brown> your welcome

[22:52] <Kelly_Naomi> we try to get our names out there creatively because them may throw the newsletter, flyers away but there are some that keep them

[22:52] <Jeromy_S> Please pass on good buy all and see you again soon.

[22:53] <T-Rex> Good night Jeromy

[22:53] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> jeromy i select the domain, we keep it in the company name, but if you check the slideshow there is  a contract to give you rights.  this is to keep the network intact.

[22:54] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> rex, your tauranga weather is correct now

[22:54] <Rick_Caldwell> I'll check with Office Depot tomorrow.  I planned on checking online with Staples and Vista

[22:54] <Danielle_Danko> vistaprint, they print them too?

[22:55] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> vistaprint.com is really expanding on their product line, and they have good prices

[22:58] <Angelica_G> I am going to print the romancing steps and tape them to the wall :)

[22:58] <Kelly_Naomi> angelica how long does your presentation take

[22:58] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Alan, you are celcius now

[22:59] <Alan_Currie> Thanks Tim Thats much better

[22:59] <T-Rex> Tim I see when you click for a forcast  it only open behind our window

[22:59] <Angelica_G> depends on the prospect Kelly

[22:59] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Angelica, the point is on all those steps is, that many times, quite naturally, you will get a chance to talk to them about buying.  but you are not forcing it

[22:59] <Angelica_G> it should not take long

[22:59] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> It may be the first visit or the 6th,

[22:59] <Kelly_Naomi> thats true tim very very true

[22:59] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> they may ask you, or it may feel right to ask them if they have 5 mintues

[23:00] <Angelica_G> so coming off with when can I see you is a killer

[23:00] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> kelly, how many times are you asked to tell them more about the portal when all you are doing is the steps to get to be their friend

[23:00] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> angelica, it really just depends,

[23:00] <Kelly_Naomi> you know when i call for the follow up to get an appointment i tell them about the business a little and then lock in the appointment with telling them it takes literally 15 minutes to inform them all about this and what we offer

[23:00] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> this is the part that is hard to teach, the instinct, but worst case scenario,if you just follow the steps you will be asked by tthem eventually

[23:00] <Angelica_G> I've been doing this all wrong

[23:01] <T-Rex> Tim can you put the accu weather on palmerston

[23:01] <Kelly_Naomi> tim almost always

[23:01] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Rex, done

[23:02] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Kelly, so almost always, just following the steps they ask you what the portal is about at one of the visits, maybe not the 1st, but sometimes the first, right?

[23:02] <Paulette_Nurse> T-Rex where is Palmerston?

[23:02] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> http://palmerstonnorthportal.com/

[23:02] <Kelly_Naomi> if you go back to the old school a bit angelica and the only email that is sent is the free listing and everything else is done face to face or phone you will sell sales and presentations over email 99.2% of the time do not work

[23:03] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> How many would like another radio interview of kelly and naomi??

[23:03] <T-Rex> great Tim

[23:04] <Angelica_G> somewhere along the line, I missed the most important steps of the system

[23:04] <Danielle_Danko> i would

[23:04] <Danielle_Danko> of course, they obviously know what works for them

[23:04] <Angelica_G> yes, pleassssssssseeeeeeeeee

[23:04] <Kelly_Naomi> angelica did you know that people buy products because they usually like the sales rep not for the product

[23:04] <Paulette_Nurse> T-Rex Palmerston is very nice

[23:05] <Danielle_Danko> well there goes that

[23:05] <Angelica_G> oh definitely - every day - not the bank the banker

[23:05] <Danielle_Danko> lol

[23:05] <T-Rex> Thank you Paulette

[23:05] <Kelly_Naomi> lol

[23:05] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Rex, fixed

[23:05] <Angelica_G> Ed has a lot of work to do :)

[23:06] <Angelica_G> he likes doing that anyway

[23:06] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> kelly is right, most all sales are because they like the salesperson .

[23:06] <Kelly_Naomi> fun is the key word if its fun it doesn't feel like work

[23:06] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> probably 90%

[23:06] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> or at least, if they don't like the salesperson, you have a 10%^ chance of selling them no matter what

[23:06] <Danielle_Danko> lol

[23:06] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> if you they like you, AND they like the product, they will buy, almost 90%

[23:06] <T-Rex> Tim thats palmerston Australia

[23:06] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> rex, is it different?

[23:06] <Angelica_G> I am too agressive - Ed said I overwhelm people
